"I called Marvin on 4/10/2018 and he came out the next day to take a look at the job to give me an estimate. I explained that I wanted the railing to be of Spanish motif and have a gate such that we could walk from the porch to the back yard. I additionally told him that I wanted heavy gauge or solid steel posts such that the railing would not move if someone leaned on it. He had a catalog with him that had every handrail and baluster under the sun. I was able to find exactly what I wanted. He went out to his truck and in about 10 minutes had an estimate to do the job. I gave him a 50% deposit and he then left. He explained to me that he had to order all the materials since what I had selected was all special order. I additionally requested that the railings be powder coated gloss black. At that time he indicated that powder coating would add an additional 10-14 days to the fabrication process, I was OK with that. After about 2 weeks I checked in with him to check on the progress, he told me that all the railing parts had arrived and he was in the fabrication process at that time. The total length of the railings was over 40' so this was a lot of balusters to weld. About 2 weeks later he called me to let me know the railings were complete and we scheduled a day for installation. On the day of installation he and a helper arrived on time and it took about 5-6 hours to install. The job turned out better than I could have ever imagined, everyone that sees our porch has remarked what a beautiful railing. I could not have been more satisfied. Prior to calling MG fabrication, I read each and every review he had on Angie's List. During the installation I was chatting with Marvin about some of the reviews posted on Angie's List that mention he was slow in responding and I told him after reading them in my opinion most of them had unrealistic expectations. You have to remember that Marvin does all the fabrication and installation himself, so you have a guy that has been welding all his life working on your job. His company has no salespersons, or other employees that run up his overhead. He additionally told me that he located his shop on the west side of San Antonio where his monthly leasing expenses were very cheap. I liked everything about this guy and his company, his estimate was less than I expected and I gave him the job without getting any more estimates, he has a great business model, essentially no overhead, and that model was reflected in the estimate I received, and the workmanship is impeccable. Once my wife and I can decide on how we want the stairs to look we are going to meet with Marvin and have him fabricate our stairs. Thanks Marvin"

"Thr whole experience was excellent. I have recommended this company to several that are in need of fence repair service."
Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.
The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.
There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:
Are you licensed and certified?
How long have you been in the welding business?
Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long do you expect my welding project to take?
What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
